What with the Olympics, the Queen's Jubilee and a generous splattering of Great British art, London is beyond exciting at the moment. I'm feeling proud to be British. Which is strange, as I've never felt the least bit patriotic in my life. I'm the person who sniggers when the England football team inevitably get knocked out of the World Cup, who grew up listening to the Sex Pistols and squirms at the Last Night of the Proms. But, hey, this does feel like a special moment. So, let's forget about the Granny Tax, pre-loading and the Leveson Inquiry - it's a glorious, spring day, here's a pair of lovely Liberty print sunglasses.
Have a good weekend.
PS The sunglasses are actually by retrosuperfuture an Italian brand but they're decorated with an archive Elysian print and sold exclusively at Liberty.
Those are very cute!
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely, and when I clicked through I was delighted by the tintype necklaces too.
ReplyDeleteGreat sunglasses -- pretty and fun. We were also surprised to find how easily we got swept up in the nationalism that accompanied the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver. Or not (just) nationalism, but a real celebration of our city and community. Crowds filled the downtown streets to watch the events on big screens, and the vibe was so positive. Exciting times -- enjoy your version of it, magnified by London's huge population.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, the sun glasses look very British to me.
ReplyDeleteDo you have a pair of them?
materfamilias - it does feel like a celebration of the city and I do feel very proud to live here. Still haven't got Olympics tickets though...
ReplyDeletemette - not yet!
Those glasses are gorgeous and so quintessentially British. I want a pair!!
ReplyDeleteI have a similar pair, picked up for a song at Target. And I love them. So much it hurts.
ReplyDeleteThose glasses really looks gorgeous. I'm just thankful that my wife is not her right now, otherwise she won't stop talking about this for hours.
